GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Garibata and Noto Phoenix pressing for the lead. GARIBATA (3) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 900m at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. DINKY (7) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Comes here with definite claims. NYANKINESE (1) is a nine-start maiden who finished tenth at his most recent appearance over 1500m at Nagoya. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. MR M ZAK (2) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Scored over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. One to consider.
